I can finally celebrate. He sucks and did not like the pick at the time.
Jaden is finally freed from Killian!!!

I mean itâs good that he is gone, but Iâm not sure it is worth celebrating that the Pistons couldnât trade their #7 pick for even a bag of basketballs. Literally nothing

The Danuel House era is over. Iâll always remember his time as a Piston

I donât care because heâs not an NBA player IMO. Heâs a nice guy, but he hasnât improved one bit in terms of weaknesses.
Apparently, the Pistons had the trade deal in line until Monty nixed it preseason FWIW.

James Wiseman survived the wave of cuts. Hayes, Harris, Hause and Arcidiacono all got cut. Too bad Wisemanâs name doesnât start with a H or he wouldâve been cut.

Overall good moves. Acquired the types of players they needed: namely, guys that can shoot, play defense, and donât cost a lot. Simone, Grimes and Troy Brown Jr (the last of which may not be around next year.) Will probably add Tobias Harris in the offseason.
Guards/Wings: Ivey, Cade, Sasser, Grimes
Forwards: Ausar, Fontecchio, Tobias Harris? (2024 Lottery Pick?)
Bigs: Duren, Stewart
Maybe they try to re-sign Troy Brown Jr and Muscala.
Basically doing what they should have done this season. Putting a coherent group of two-way role players around the young players.
FWIW, there was likely a deal on the table: Kilian for two of the following (Zaire Williams, Jake LaRavia, David Roddy, Jon Konchar) and a 2nd round pick. Guessing the Pistons turned it down because it would have eaten into their cap space by about 7mil.
Whatâs the source of this deal?
Heard/read it in a few places. Probably Lowe Post or NBA Front Office.
Following a Detroit Free Press report that former No. 7 overall pick Killian Hayes and his representation would prefer a change of scenery, the Memphis Grizzlies are among the teams that have expressed trade interest in Hayes, league sources told HoopsHype. Rival executives are also monitoring Memphisâ rookie-scale players under contract, including Ziaire Williams and Jake LaRavia as trade candidates, league sources say. Rival executives believe the emergence of GG Jackson and Vince Williams could make Williams and LaRavia expendable.

Hayes will take over for Ja Morant when he does something stupid again.

That doesnât say anything that it was offered in this blurb.
Not that any Bulls fan couldnât see this coming but yeesh, nailed it. What a useless franchise.
The Knicks FO seems to really understand how valuable it is to be deep. Itâs so easy to cruise to like 45 wins if you just stack up a roster of average-ish dudes. Obviously they have greater aims but you also get trade ballast thatâs pretty easy to make work for matching salary reasons. Meanwhile theyâve kept their powder dry on their draft assets. They even tamper with the best of them!
The Knicks areâŚa model franchise?

I think Leon Rose is clearly pretty competent
Like the Brunson thing was more, you know, than brilliant executing but the rest is pretty good

Me neither. Getting our conditional 1st round pick back from them needed to be in the mix.

Exactly, with Bagley and Hayes goneâthough Wiseman is still in town.
I heard some version of it multiple places (both national and Pistons beat writers) Enough for it to be clear it was a thing,

2 in a row for the Pistons with only 9 players on back to back. 7/7 from 3 for Ivey. Is that good???
